Glambunctious turns 1!

1 year ago today, I posted my first review!  I'd actually attempted to do a beauty blog during the summer of 2011 but I had a really bad camera that produced really blurry photos.  Unfortunately, very few of those early reviews are still up on this site due to a glitch in my photo storage software that caused most of the pictures to get deleted.  That's okay though, because I dusted myself off after taking a break, and decided to get back on the blog train!

Over the course of the year, I have to say the best thing I've gained is the friendship of YOU GUYS!!  You all mean so much to me!  You guys aren't just like-minded beauty lovers, you're friends.  Hearts!

Every person who's taken the time to interact with me here has participated in making me feel like this blog had a purpose and I genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart!  Your support and friendship continues to serve as a source of positivity and inspiration.  Here's to a fantastic 2014!

Thank you!  I love you guys!

A few stats...if you're into that sort of thing!
My first post was a review of Orly Passion Fruit Nail Lacquer.
I've published 190 posts in 2013.
My most viewed blog post of 2013 was the Maybelline Color Tattoo Seashore Frosts and Lavish Lavender Review.
